We’ll Live to 100 – How Can We Afford It?
The challenges we face to provide our ageing societies with a financially secure retirement are well-known. In most countries around the world, standards of living and healthcare advancements are allowing people to live longer. This should be celebrated, but we should also consider the implications for the financial systems that have been designed to meet our retirement needs, which in many countries are already under severe strain.
This report has been produced as part of the Forum’s Retirement Investment Systems Reform project that has brought together pension experts to assess opportunities for reforms that can be adopted to improve the likelihood of our
retirement systems adequately and sustainably supporting future generations. The issues and findings discussed are the result of numerous interviews, discussions and workshops.
With this in mind, we would like to thank our project partner Mercer as well as the input from our Steering Committee and Expert Committee which has allowed us to draw on unique expertise from different communities and knowledge networks.
